I think there is some confusion. With the 1.5.1 distro, the boot.fs file is
the only one that cleanly starts a G4 when booted from HFS+. This is a
little interesting since it is actually designed for floppy use. What I'm
asking for is a (separate) G4 boot file (HFS+ compatible) that contains vi.
Since these things CAN'T boot from floppy, we don't have to worry about size
restrictions.
Am I asking for two different boot.fs equivalents? Yes. I know there are
other install kernels, but none of them worked when HFS+ booted from a G4.
